Asking questions begets answers.

 What/who are you passionate about? 
I am passionate about connecting and sharing through writing.  I believe every person has wisdom and life experiences that if shared will uplift our communities.  I love the struggle to find my voice and to unveil beauty through writing.

What resources would benefit your community? 
Writing workshops for Professional Womens Group women and any community members or P.W.G. women's families to support the end goal of writing letters to those of an older generation.  This action would empower the women, families and community members who particpate to find their voice and in doing so will lift the downtrodden and weak in spirit.  It will also give hope and connection to senior citizens related and unrelated who might fee disconnected.

Is there an issue affecting the quality of life in your neighborhood?
In an increasingly busy society we are not connected.  Phones, computers and the era of instant communication loses some.  We don't know our neighbors.  Because of that we are focused inward and are unable to support our families, neighbors or communities when they might need uplifting.  

Is there a group of people or geographical area that you are excited about helping? 
This July I had a wonderful opportunity to attend a family reunion.   Now that I have a full-time job, have time off benefits I could afford the luxury of attending this family reunion for the first time.  I am very fortunate to have a large, supportive family.  But because my "little..family of 7" hasn't been financially sound, previously we had never been able to make such a journey to meet them.  This year, a drive to Idaho for my kids to meet my 6 aunts uncles, my grandparents, my 15 first cousins and 15 second cousins happened!  We visited City of Rocks, shared memories, listened to gentle Grandpa express his love to all of us, learned about Grandma's brothers who teased her as a little girl,  rode bikes with my daughter passing by cornfields, smelled bittersweet sagebrush, water slid, trudged with my brother through my Dad's old stomping grounds, visited Great Grandparents old farm and renewed my sense of peace and belonging.  Family is the building block of society.  All of us have families that need strengthening.  What could I do to help others feel some sense of the peace and belonging that I cherish from my family?
